Tony La Russa drunk on Pujol's power (and wine)

Thanks to The Bright One for this link.

Ummm...what?

According to Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun, the Cardinals and Orioles are planning on "sharing players" this season through a lease and lend program.

If that isn't the weirdest fucking thing I've ever heard, I don't know what is. How would this work?

Dave Trembley: "Hey Tony, we're playing the Yankees today. Could we borrow Pujols for a few hours?"
La Russa: "Sure Dave, just return him with a full tank of gas."

And WHO in the fuck would the Cardinals want to borrow? Brian Roberts? There is not much other "major league ready" talent on that team...
